DECATUR TOWNSHIP, Mich. - A 49-year-old southwestern Michigan woman who asked a sheriff's deputy to lend her money for cigarettes after just being told to stop begging by the deputy ended up behind bars.
The Kalamazoo Gazette reported the woman was warned on July 23 and again on Friday by the Van Buren County sheriff's department to stop repeatedly asking her Decatur Township neighbors for money to buy cigarettes.
The sheriff's department said the woman asked for money from the deputy on Friday, then tried bargaining with the deputy for different dollar amounts. The deputy arrested her for disorderly conduct.
The case was being forwarded to the prosecutor's office.
